Anyone heard of JD Custom?

This is a discussion on Anyone heard of JD Custom? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Sorry to (kind of) re-post, but my other thread died and my question got buried a couple pages in.
I'm looking at buying this nice ...

Not under any circumstances would I purchase a ported pistol for self defense. If I were unarmed and disarmed a BG to fight off other BGs I would use it but I would not buy one. I have never felt the need to port a .45 anyway especially a semi auto.

Pete I'm still the odd man out but I like the looks of the gun. Have had several that have been magnaported. No problems. Some time back I posted about testing the magnaported gun (Colt Delta Elite) against a snubby 357 and a defender at night. The muzzle flash wasn't any brighter then the snubby and retention on a snubby is gonna get some powder on ya!!

If you don't like porting you don't like it and thats everyones right. You might like it however.

I have no specific gripe about a non defensive use pistol being ported. However, there are times when a defensive pistol may need to be discharged from a position other than a traditional shooting position. Shooting a ported gun from a retention or extreme close quarters position may vent gas, un-burnt powder etc into the shooters eyes. This stuff is hot and contains particles that, while low in mass, are traveling at high speeds. This can lead to eye damage! I'm not talking about a momentary loss of night vision here folks.

I saw this gun in the shop and fell in love (gunlust?) with it because it was the first Officer's size 1911 I'd found that met my criteria and my price range. It's a nice piece, but I'm not sold on the mag-na-porting for a carry gun, and I don't like the fact that I can't seem to get in touch with JD Custom or anyone that's even heard of them.

Plus, for the money it'd cost me to have tritium sights and a tune-up done on that gun, I'm most of the way to a new Springfield Loaded. So I think I'll do my best to be patient (my permit wont be here for a couple of weeks anyway) and save another paycheck or two.

Sad minor point to a previous post; you can't buy a Springfield officers sized 1911 but I sure wish you could!! They make a micro with 3" barrel and the officer's frame but nothing with the officer's frame and a 4" barrel but I'm praying!!!!

I too think it might be better to consider other options without the ported barrel.
